juliesre Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Does anyone have any strong opinions/perceptions about/of UCLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryffelgris Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 In a word: no. One of my undergrad profs basically told me he has absolutely no opinion on UCLA. Which somehow seems like a bad thing. I know there are definitely reasons UCLA is ranked well-- strong demography people, etc-- but it doesn't seem to have an easily palatable "reputation" like other top schools.

ejuliast Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 They've had excellent placements recently. I'm strongly considering going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waitinginohio Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I was going to apply, and e-mailed 3 profs there in September. None of them responded to my e-mails. Every other prof I e-mailed (at the 7 other schools I did apply to) got back to me. Not always right away, not always the most personal or helpful response, but they did reply. I took the lack of responses from UCLA as a sign that they weren't interested in me and didn't even bother applying. Obviously other people might have very different experiences, and I don't think anyone else should rule UCLA out based on my experience, but I figure it's worth sharing.
